When we come to the hard,

When we come to the hard, rough, steep path

"Your shoes shall be iron and bronze. As your days — so shall your strength be." Deuteronomy 33:25

Life's most dreaded experiences, when we meet them — often carry in themselves the light which takes away the peril and the terror. The night of sorrow, comes with its own lamp of comfort.

The hour of weakness, brings its secret of strength.

By the brink of the bitter fountain, grows the tree whose branch will heal the waters.

The wilderness with its hunger and heat, has daily manna.

In dark Gethsemane, where the load is more than mortal heart can bear — an angel appears ministering strength.

When we come to the hard, rough, steep path — we find iron for shoes.
